Lynne Jonell, author of "Lawn Mower Magic"

Start: 03/03/2012 2:00 pm

Beloved local children's writer Lynne Jonell will be appearing at The Bookcase on Saturday, March 3 at 2:00 in the afternoon to celebrate the publication of her newest book, Lawn Mower Magic.

With a "POP!" and a puff of smoke, the Willows' lawn mower calls it quits. A new mower will cost their parents a lot of money, money Derek had hoped to borrow for a train ticket to visit a friend. Luckily Derek and his brother and sisters find a rusty push mower tucked away in the shed. It doesn't look like much, but it turns out that it's been soaking up magic for years. And it's hungry for grass!
